I still don’t understand why, without fail, every summer I have to read a story about a woman SOMEONE leaving a baby or toddler locked in a car, with the windows rolled up, on a hot summer day, while she THAT PERSON — probably some no-good, jerky dad even though, in this case, it was a mom — is in a store. At least this time, the baby survived. (Happy now, everyone?)

2. The American Volkssport Association has been hosting a national convention for older outdoor walkers in and around Dallas this week. That just seems like poor planning, no?

3. Former Texas Rangers president Tom Schieffer officially joined the race for governor yesterday in Fort Worth. Is it too early to call him the Zac Crain of this race? Probably not.
